If life teaches us anything it’s that sometimes humor can get people through really tough patches. Case in point. 50/50 (or I’m With Cancer as it was originally called) is a film about Adam and how drastically his life is changed when he’s diagnosed with a brain tumor. His world is further turned upside down by the news that his chances to be beat the cancer are “50/50“. Luckily the trailer isn’t as dreary as the premise would make it seem, so have a look for yourself… Wow, I just can’t stop replaying this. The story looks great and if there’s one actor I am continually impressed with each time…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Happy Feet 2'
Riding on the crest of that wildly popular “penguin craze” of the mid 2000’s came a little animated film called Happy Feet. It was funny, cute, had a pretty noteworthy cast, breathtakingly realistic visuals (not to mention seamless integration of live action characters) and a not so preachy message. Well that was back in 2006 and now here we are getting back to that lovable bunch of Antartic dwelling sing-songy inhabitants. Have a look…even if this time they’re singing dreadful songs. I highly enjoyed the first film and loved both the characters and the music. This time it looks like they’re really going after a slightly different/younger (read: American Idol)…

Newest Additions To 'Total Recall' Remake (UPDATED)
While I still just don’t understand the need for this remake, one of the latest actors cast really intrigues me. For months there has been development on the remake of the sci-fi actioner Total Recall and recent news has just about summed up the major casting. Kate Beckinsale, it has been confirmed will play Lori, Quaid’s wife. The second female lead, Jessica Biel will play Melina, the woman from his dreams and soldier of the resistance (well that’s if elements of the Verhoeven film are repeated here).

G-S-T Review…The Hangover Part II
Todd Phillips’ The Hangover Part II is basically more of the same, and by that I mean more lunacy, more hilarity and more Wolfpack! And yes friends, that’s funny in any language. As a huge fan of the unexpectedly hilarious first Hangover, this sequel had such high expectations going in. While comes pretty close to being as great it does fall short due to the fact it is such a rampant rehash of the first film with little new to offer. Then again, did anyone expect anything different from the trailers and the premise? Didn’t think so.

G-S-T Review…Rio
Blue Sky, Ice Age not withstanding, is known for simply exquisite and stunning CG environments (Robots is a must see) and did wonders with recreating the world of Rio. In their biggest film to date, the realism in textures and further the staggering amount of characters on screen just pop out at you…and that’s just in 2D. Now while, Rango has pretty much won this year’s “most realistic CG award” Rio still deserves as much credit as a powerhouse like Pixar for its level of detail. We’ve seen this kind of tale before but with lush landscapes and bright/funny characters, you don’t really mind the fact this is a rather ho hum and…

G-S-T Review…Bridesmaids
The female ‘The Hangover‘ this is not. And this film, which is a lot cuter and heartfelt than you’d expect, is probably getting a lot of steam based on that misconception. Make no mistake, anyone wanting a raunchy female comedy will get their money’s worth as this is a laugh riot. But hidden amongst the girl crazy antics is a sweeter film than expected. Moreover, what looks like a crazy series of events befalling all 6 members of the bridal party is really about Wiig, Rudolph and Byrne. Its a mostly endearing film that plays fairly to both male and female audiences and that’s a rare feat in film these…

G-S-T Review…THOR
The third Marvel character from the Avenger’s line up (and first tent-pole comic film of 2011) comes at us with a pretty solid adventure about the Asgardian Odinson. The most otherworldly member of the upcoming The Avengers film was quite a delight after the rather underplayed trailers and mixed reviews. Sometimes, depending on the material, an awe inspiring character in the comics can look just downright laughable on screen regardless of whether or not there’s a credible story to back it up. But Kenneth Branagh‘s Thor takes what would just be a hokey series of costumes and set pieces and give us a somewhat weighty story powered fine acting. It yields a believable presence on par with something as visually…

Roundtable Discussion with 'I Am Number 4' VFX Supervisor BILL GEORGE
ILM Visual Effects Supervisor, BILL GEORGE has worked on some of the most amazing sci-fi films in movie history…just check out his IMDb page if you don’t believe me. And as a member of the legendary Industrial Light and Magic, he’s worked with and among the very best in the business. A sci-fi guy through and through he feels right at home with aliens, space craft and all sorts of weird. He recently did some pretty fantastic work on the Dreamworks film I Am Number Four and as such, Go, See, Talk was asked along with some other bloggers to participate in an exclusive round table discussion where we picked his brain…

Announcement: ‘Monsters. Inc,’ Sequel ‘Monsters University’ Due In 2013
Sweet! Just got a little heads up from the Pixar camp about the sequel to Monsters, Inc. It seems that Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan, that inseparable pair, weren’t always best of friends. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. This sequel, or prequel really, Monsters University unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends. Monsters University will be directed by Dan Scanlon (Mater and the Ghostlight, Tracy) and be produced by Kori Rae (Up, The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc.). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21st, 2013, and will be shown in…
